happy event

Chapter 349

Concubine Bo shook her head weakly, "Old people are really useless. During this period of time, I have been thinking whether I have obtained what I want most, and whether my life is worth it."

Dongfang Qiu hugged Concubine Bo and let Concubine Bo's head rest on his chest.Concubine Bo could feel the firmness and heat of his chest, just like when he was young.

Dongfang Qiu said: "What do you want to do, no matter what you become in the end, you will always be the most beautiful and youngest in my Dongfang Qiu's eyes. Only you."

"Sweet words! If you really think so, I'll die of joy." Although Concubine Bo blamed Dongfang Qiu on her lips, she was very sweet in her heart.

But Dongfang Qiu emphasized his sincerity again as if swearing, making Dowager Bo giggle.

Concubine Bo kept playing with the skirt of Dongfang Chou's chest, "Dongfang, it would be great if we could be together in a fair way one day."

"For me, as long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter whether I am upright or not, and I don't care." Dongfang Qiu said affectionately.

"But I care." Dowager Bo looked up at Dongfang Qiu.

Dongfang Qiu lowered his head and kissed Dowager Bo's forehead affectionately.

Dongfang Qiu muttered, "I will work hard."

Concubine Bo was a little displeased and said: "You will work hard, you will work hard, I can hardly remember how many times you have told me this kind of thing. What I want is not an unattainable promise , what I want is a real life, a life that can be with you. I don't want to worry about your life when you come to see me. I also don't want when we are together. You have to worry all the time about whether someone will break in. After all these years, you say you will do it, you will do it, but have you done it?"

Seeing Concubine Bo's excitement, Dongfang Qiu hugged her tightly, and after calming Concubine Bo's emotions, he said, "I haven't been working hard all the time? These things are not like opening a wine shop or an inn. They don't happen overnight." You have to take your time. However, I will not let you down."

"Why don't you let me down?" Concubine Bo asked seriously.

Concubine Bo originally wanted to tease Dongfang Qiu, but she didn't expect Dongfang Qiu to become serious, saying that he had a good idea.

"What do you think?" Concubine Bo couldn't help becoming serious when she saw Dongfang Qiu's serious look.

Dongfang Qiudao: "Before we joined forces with Lord Zongzheng, although the final result was a failure, we can still see one thing when we look back at the whole thing, that is, our alliance with Lord Zongzheng still caused Dong Rong to suffer a bit, at least Let her be more busy dealing with it. As long as Dong Rong can't take care of her left and right, she will not be far from breaking Dong Rong down."

Concubine Bo gave Dongfang Qiu a blank look, "What kind of idea are you thinking?"

Concubine Bo became angry, "It's not that you didn't see that Ai's family went to Zhengqing of Dali Temple and Mr. Gong from the Ministry of Punishment. It's not that you don't know that Ai's family has hit a wall. You still mention this matter to me now, Didn't you come to slap me in the face?"

Dongfang Qiu quickly comforted Concubine Bo, although Dongfang Qiu knew that Concubine Bo was very face-saving and would get angry if she lost face in some small things, but he did not expect that Concubine Bo would do the same in this matter .

"I brought this matter up to you because I had other ideas. I don't want you to go to Mr. Gong and the Minister of Dali Temple again."

Concubine Bo did not calm down after hearing Dongfang Qiu's words, but gave Dongfang Qiu a blank look, "Is the other way you said because you fell in love with other women? Or there is no other woman, just the one in white. Just mother."

"Why did you come here?" Dongfang Qiu looked aggrieved, "I just had a better idea and wanted to come to you to discuss it. If you really underestimate me so much, you think I, Dongfang Qiu, will A hypocritical man who is tempted by other women, then you should kill me now."

"What kills and beats? Who do you think you are? You can let others kill and beat you? My man must be a man of indomitable spirit." Dowager Bo coughed after finishing speaking.

Dongfang Qiu hurriedly said: "Who are you? As long as you want my life, I will give it to you without blinking an eye. But can you also take care of my body? You make me feel so distressed. .”

Dongfang Qiu's sudden domineering gentleness warmed Dowager Bo's heart a lot. Dowager Bo hugged Dongfang Qiu, just like she did when she was young.

"Tell me, what did you want to say to me just now?" Dowager Bo's tone was much gentler, with a kind of cuddly feeling, but her sour face couldn't conceal her ruthlessness along the way. cruel.

Dongfang Qiudao: "Most of the courtiers in the Great Qi Kingdom are snobbish. If we ask them for help, most of them will think for a long time, and will weigh whether the benefits they get from being with us are worth their risk."

"Don't people outside the Great Qi Kingdom weigh these things?"

Concubine Bo retorted.

Dong Fangqiu said: "Although they all weigh it, haven't you noticed that since the emperor ascended the throne, many ministers have taken a wait-and-see attitude. They don't know what the emperor's attitude is, and those ministers before might still think about it because you are the emperor. But as the boy matures day by day, the ministers also slowly lean towards the emperor, ignoring the relationship between you and the empress dowager."

Concubine Bo did not speak. He knew that Dongfang Qiu's analysis was very reasonable. This is why after her son ascended the throne, her power did not grow stronger, but became weaker and weaker. With a claim, she gradually doesn't want her mother and concubine to intervene in everything she does.How can those ministers who have been in the court for decades not see through this relationship, so their attitude towards her, the concubine, has gradually become a little vague.

"Then what do you think is a good idea?" Since Dongfang Qiu said he had an idea, Dowager Bo wanted to hear what his idea was.

A gleam flashed in Dongfang Qiu's eyes, "There is a fifth prince over the grassland."

"He?" Concubine Bo was puzzled, but after thinking for a while, her eyes brightened, "Yes, why didn't I think of this person. Although he is far away in the grassland, his power cannot be underestimated by anyone."

Dongfang Qiu nodded, "Do you know why Dong Rong was able to speak to the emperor in such a majestic manner in the court before? Isn't it because of Gardi Khan's elite soldiers? Why didn't our ministers of Daqi dare What about Dong Rong, and persuaded the emperor to agree to Dong Rong's request? Isn't it because those ministers are also afraid that the iron cavalry brought by Gardi will smash their dreams of glory? As long as we do the same, let the fifth prince become our backing , we are not afraid that the ministers of Daqi will not listen to us, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to deal with Dong Rong."

Hearing this, Concubine Bo was still a little puzzled, "Having the fifth prince as your backing is of course a good choice, and it can indeed let the ministers in the court know where they should stand. But why do you have the support of the fifth prince?" , can defeat Dong Rong?"

Dongfang Qiu said: "As smart as you are, why can't you see through this relationship this time? The fifth prince can't do anything to Dong Rong directly, but don't forget, Dong Rong's two sons are still on the grassland."

Dongfang Qiu explained his other thoughts to Concubine Bo in detail, and Concubine Bo finally understood, and the smile on her face became stronger and stronger.

Just when she was so happy that she was about to laugh out loud, her throat felt itchy. Concubine Bo coughed and spit out another mouthful of blood.

Dongfang Qiu hurried forward to help Concubine Bo, and asked nervously, "How are you?"

Concubine Bo waved her hands weakly, "What else can I do? I'm afraid this bone won't be able to withstand much trouble, Dongfang, we need to implement our plan as soon as possible."

Dongfang Qiu nodded.

Concubine Bo looked into Dongfang Qiu's eyes and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I don't have the strength to go to the grassland again. It's hard to say whether the power of the fifth prince can be obtained."

Dongfang Qiu caressed Concubine Bo's face distressedly, "I'm here."

The smile on Concubine Bo's face was full of happiness, "It's good to have you."

After several days of preparation, Dongfang Qiu disguised himself and went to the grassland, a place he had never set foot in his life.

In the grassland, everything is so strange.No matter how many people there are in the market, Dongfang Qiu will feel inexplicably desolate, and even can't help feeling a little sad from the bottom of his heart.

Dongfang Qiu traveled around for many days, and the dry food in the car was almost eaten, so he found a place that looked like an inn and sat down, wanting to eat something before going on the road.

The group brought by Dongfang Qiu was already hungry, and after eating dry food for so many days, walking into the inn was like a hungry wolf entering a sheep village. Even if they saw the leftover mutton bones at the next table, they would feel hungry.

Finally, the shop waiter brought up the meat, the steaming mutton knuckles, you can tell how soft and tender the meat is just by looking at the meat.

A group of people stretched out their hands like a conditioned reflex, and wanted to snatch the mutton knuckle from the shop's waiter.However, everyone stopped snatching the mutton knuckles after they realized it, and retracted their hands in embarrassment and embarrassment, looking at Dongfang Qiu.

Dongfang Qiu waved his hand, "Eat, it's not like there's nothing left."

Sure enough, the waiter immediately brought a large pot of mutton knuckles, which were equally tender and steaming.

Dongfang Qiu's subordinates immediately began to gnaw, and his appearance was no different from that of a wolf.

Dongfang Qiu was also hungry and started to eat like crazy.

In a short time, the meat on the mutton elbow was eaten clean by these people.

Dongfang Qiu's appearance was also very wild, completely lacking the usual elegance and arrogance.However, after eating an elbow, Dongfang Qiu already felt very full.Just as he was about to drink the wine from the side, he caught a glimpse of a man with ragged clothes, dirty and unkempt hair, and a face full of dirt, as if he had just fallen into muddy water, holding a pair of sneakers. His eyes peeked at the mutton bones on Dongfang Qiu's table.The bone has been gnawed clean, even if it is thrown to a passing wild dog, the wild dog may not be interested.
